Dye-Lite & Cool Cathode?

[richklein]

Hi all,
I purchased some stuff to do a little green WC action. I think I got the wrong stuff though. I bought a blue neon cool cathode & a bottle of dye lite.

Before i start putting the dye lite in I want to make sure it will work like that or maybe i bought the wrong light.

I also bought some UV sensative cables & I noticed that the neon light really didnt do anything for the cables.

So, if I bought the wrong light, where can I find the right light. Also will dye lite make the water green colored?

Thanks,
Rich

think "black light"

as for the colour of the water, if you got green,
it will be a red/brown/green/yellow....
the colour really is messed up, depends alot on the lighting..
should glow green under a black light

I have found that neon colors are somewhat reactive to regular cold cathode lights.... why? I'm not sure but it does.... will post pictures as soon as I get back to school (in 2 weeks [sorry])...

Tell me about it!!:D The only bad thing is when you order a UV CC and they send you a white CC and swear up and down that it is a UV(blacklight) one. I changed all my water today and put in radiator tracer dye( green, like dye lite) and it doesn't glow under my supposedly UV CC:mad: Where is a good place to get Blacklight CC's?

checkout car shops for blacklights....
they will sell ones that work on a 12V system aswell, perfect for a computer

I just picked up a 12inch UV CC from bestbyte.com for 16 bucks.. same price as the not as good neons... I have yet to find a price better then 15bucks for a neon or a CC of a decent size
